Eat Zongzi Like This, Be Careful With Kidney Dialysis! Physician Recommends 3 Things For "three High Patients" To Eat Rice Dumplings

Lin Zhenghao, director of the Department of Nephrology at Nguyen General Hospital, pointed out that as a result of people staying at home to avoid the epidemic, many people first lost control of their diet! Especially when the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, the mini meat dumplings with many delicious ingredients, one after another, will not only jump in weight, but also increase blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids, which will worsen the condition of patients with chronic diseases such as kidney disease and diabetes mellitus for a long time; Especially long-term chronic kidney disease patients, indulge their appetite and risk kidney dialysis to eat rice dumplings.

Lin Zhenghao mentioned that there are many patients with advanced chronic kidney disease who are usually well controlled in clinical practice. Before and after the Dragon Boat Festival every year, it is always difficult to change to eat 2 rice dumplings at a meal for half a day. After many months, when returning to the clinic, it will naturally be found that the renal function has greatly deteriorated, and some patients are even on the verge of dialysis.

Lin Zhenghao further explained that in addition to rice (starch), salty rice dumplings are filled with high-fat, high-salt, high-sodium and high-potassium ingredients; peanuts, nuts or five-grain rice dumplings contain high phosphorus components, which are harmful to kidney patients. Necessary burden; for diabetic patients, the harm of zongzi lies in the calories. The average calorie of a zongzi is 500 calories, which is more than a bowl of 200 grams of white rice (280 calories). Especially for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease, there is only one line to dialysis. It is not recommended to eat rice dumplings at all. People with chronic kidney disease in the early stage can only eat one piece a day, and eat it with green vegetables to balance nutrition and increase satiety.

The out-of-control health index is the warning sign of the deterioration of the disease. Because of gluttony, kidney dialysis is really not worth it. Lin Zhenghao suggested that people with "three highs" have 3 tricks to eat smartly:

1. Less seasonings: dipping sauce is high in sodium, and should be appropriate for patients with kidney disease and high blood pressure. 2. Save and eat: eat 1/2 or 1/3 of a meal (depending on the size of the zongzi). 3. Eat smart: with low-potassium vegetables, it can not only help gastrointestinal motility, but also reduce cholesterol in the body, so that you can eat delicious and balanced.
